The new 2017 Ford C-Max Energi and Ford C-Max
Hybrid are engineered to perform. Boasting impressive fuel efficiency while
delivering a quality driving experience with a spacious interior and smart
technology. The 2017 Ford C-Max Hybrid offers many fun and efficient features
such as Best-In-Class horsepower with 188 combined horsepower (gasoline powered
engine working with the lithium-ion battery), but in all-electric mode the
C-Max is capable of a top speed of 135 km/h. The C-Max also offers Regenerative
Braking with Brake Coach that will recover energy that is usually lost through
your friction brakes or engine drag and stores that energy in your battery for
later use – the coach is there to help you maximize the amount of energy
returned through this system by assigning a score based on how well you braked.
Both C-Max models features Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable
Transmission (eCVT) which combines power from the engine and electric motor to
deliver power to the wheels when you accelerate – this transmission is designed
to eliminate the noticeable upshifts and downshifts of traditional
transmissions to provide a seamless driving experience.

The 2017 Ford C-Max
Energi Plug-In Hybrid provides all this plus the option of plugging in for an all-electric
driving experience or not plugging in, for hybrid mode driving. The Energi
combines a 7.6 kWh lithium-ion battery and electric motor with a gasoline
engine, providing plug-in capability that can fully charge your C-Max Energi in
about 2.5 hours using a 240-Volt charging station or overnight using a standard
120-Volt outlet.

Both C-Max models also comes with available Sync 3, now with
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allowing you to enjoy all of the awesome Sync
features plus next-generation voice-activated technology. Sync 3 has a number
of improvements over its predecessor including; an easy to read Capacitive touchscreen
coupled with improved performance allowing for impressive responsiveness to use
gesture controls such as swipe and pinch to zoom – similar to your smartphone. Sync
3 on the 2017 Ford C-Max also comes equipped with unique EV content such as
displaying the vehicle mode (such as Hybrid Drive/Charging EV Battery, Idle,
Electric Drive etc.) and convenience features on the Energi model, including
scheduling a charge time when utility rates are the lowest.
